1 Peter 2:4–8
4 As you come to him, a living stone—rejected by people but chosen and honored byD God—5 you yourselves, as living stones, a spiritual house, are being built to be a holy priesthoodE to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to Godf through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:
See, I lay a stone in Zion,g
a chosen and honoredF cornerstone,h
and the one who believes in him
will never be put to shame.G,i
7 So honor will come to you who believe; but for the unbelieving,
The stone that the builders rejected—
this one has become the cornerstone,H,j
A stone to stumble over,
They stumble because they disobey the word; they were destinedl for this.
